True To Leonard's Vision This is an incredibly well written and produced television show on a network that has allowed for the exploration of the space immediately beyond what we have been accustomed to on the networks. The primary characters are brought to life in the very best manner by Olyphant, Coggins, and Carter. Unfortunately, Rapaport fails to deliver in a part that could have and should have been much darker in it's presentation. The plot holds up well, and the script delivers the appropriate amount of stress and tension to keep the depth of drama right where we need it to be to keep us riveted and invested in the characters without crossing the line into over the top hokum. It's unfortunate that there is only one more season to come. This could easily be developed and branched out in numerous directions without crossing the "jump the shark" line.

DO NOT pass on this show ,simply amazing Boyd is my favorite. It didn't think he could top his role in SOA but he does it here. I just finished season 6 . I am at a loss, I hope the final conversation of the season will bring season 7. Hands down some of the best writing on television. I guess I will have to look for Walton in other shows now. Don't forget that Ava was found in a photo while visiting a pumpkin patch and the boyfriend of Raylan ex called Raylan's daughter "Punkin" hmmm just sayin.

Apple pie, fried food and PBR Of course the apple pie in 'Justified' - is 'moonshine'. Just out of the Navy and set on sewing of oats, Ray Mosley (from Morganfield, Ky & me - K.C.) upon receipt of our income tax checks hitched to his momma's place (& the 2nd day of his lifelong friends' 4-day kegger). Within 2 days we're moved into a 1-rm cabin that's in a puddle-jump halfway btwn Henderson and Owensboro, Ky, marked by the world famous (CCR sung of') "Green River". We often would run right out the front door grab the rope swing and drop into the snapping turtle infested' majestic Green River. 35 yrs ago and yet it's as if it's the same as it was then. I have for the very first time found a tv series that captures the moment and lasso's my memory.. I 'unfortunately' was on the opposite side from Marshall Raylan Givens., (not sales but we were official pot testers!)

Make season 6 Available right away I can't get enough of good'ole back woods inbred drug abusing rednecks! All those rappers think they got it bad. This is real life! it's Justified!

Not a show about turtles Justified has nothing to do with turtles, so don't go expecting to see any. The premise of the show was a little misleading. I thought there would be at least the occasional turtle. These things happen. Not a bad program otherwise.

Best cops and robbers in recent tv. Timothy O. Was made to play this role! He fits the character to a t. And the back and forth between him and boyd keep you guessing until the next show. Will they're old friendship win out, or will the cop do his job and put boyd away for good? Wish they would write another season or two, but all good stories must have an ending. Also a great representation of the southern culture, spot on! All in all a great show!

..something terribly wrong going on here... It's Coogan's Bluff, Joe Kidd with the sovereign state of Kentucky thrown in. The Lincoln Towncar tells you something terribly wrong is going on. You think you're ready for it but it's got you still seeing stars and tweety birds. Great action, genius comedy and great characters.

Clint + McCloud + Rockford + Dukes of Hazzard A great series. I watched the first three seasons on Amazon Prime and almost every single episode was a 5 star. The "disarm" scene was Pythonesque but other than that, would add it to the newer great ones like Breaking Bad, House of Cards, Dexter, Orange is the new Black, etc.

Justified Great cast, especially in supporting roles. Southerners are presented accurately, as complex characters not stereotypes. Very well written, though one entire season suffered when the head writer apparently developed a (serious) methamphetamine habit. I hate the idea of interventions, but why punish the viewers with an entire season of mediocre nonsense, when sacrificing some producer's kid was so clearly necessary. Promises Malibu is a country club not a prison. What ever happened to the Good of the Many?

Real Sheriff, Real Action & Brilliant Writing EQUALS ??? The story of a real Sheriff doing his thing in the backwoods of his old home. The writing is brilliant along with the great cast, and the action keeps you coming back for more. After each episode I start anticipating the next one. Waiting for this season to start had me watching reruns over and over. I have to disagree with the majority here. Most are claiming that this show is one of the best shows on TV. I'm sorry to say that you are all wrong. THIS IS THE BEST SHOW ON TV, Olyphant ROCK'S!

Not enough episodes! Not for everyone, but it's very entertaining to me! There are so many subtle hints and clues about what is going to happen next. Also, there are so many underlying meanings and intelligent wars of words that occur between Raylan and Boyd. Too bad that seasons are only 13 episodes long!

Nothing left I love this show it's all that's left of awesome. It is one of my most favorites. It's to bad this going to be the last season also. But just like sons of anarchy, and breaking bad I have bought them all.

If all L.E.O.'s were like Raylan, maybe I'd be more fond of them! Lol! He lives his life by a few simple rules, one of which is "if you're sure, then shoot. If you're not sure, then shoot." If their were more officers like him, there'd be fewer criminals! And if there were fewer prosecutors going after the good guys, then the good guys would never second guess themselves when it really matters. So I suppose you could say that Raylan lives in an almost perfect world, where good guys are still allowed to shoot bad guys. And I love the hat!

Excellent Awesome show, well written and acted. Timothy Olyphant is awesome as hell. Rayland makes me laugh all the time with his way of getting the job done. You feel bad for him because of who his father is and how he was raised to be a criminal but became a lawman. Plus I just love Timothy Olyphant becuase hes got that everybody loves me look and persona. Please keep the show going for at least 8 years. It remains the best Law show.

Superb!! I started watching this in season 4, and I am HOOKED!! I just HAD to get seasons 1-3 and it was definitely worth it! I am not really a big t.v. watcher, but like others have said, it's right up there with SOA and breaking bad! It makes you somehow FEEL like it's real because the acting is fantastic!! A must watch from beginning to end...

Justified was my absolute favorite show...my dvr is packed with every episode and I watch them constantly. I honestly prefer this to breaking bad and shows of the like....too bad they finished the show would've loved to have had more!

Awesome show! From the writing to the acting and every other aspect in between; this show just rocks. The character portrayals, whether good guys or bad girls, make you want more each episode. Only drawback is short season and long off season.

Best on TV ever! This takes place in the mountains of Kentucky, an in depth view of the lifestyle and crime style of the people that you might find in those areas. This is NOT a reality show! It's a drama which is very well done and loved by anyone that watches it. Love this show and season 5 is supposed to be is last. What a terrible shame.

HTC one m8 Best Show around, my heart was broken to see this was the last season. This drama has you wondering who is this guy? Is he good or is just another dirty law enforcement official? The character s are so complex and bizarre that you just want more!

Justified The best lawman show on tv. It shows the drug thugs from the hollers of KY all the way to Mexico with cities like Detroit added in for splash. It's the fastest hour on television leaving you holding your breath till next weeks episode aires.

Google user This is 4 me at least one of the best fx shows I've seen in a while now. So ticked off that this is the last season. only show that I want both villain and the good guy to wind up winners!.. ( raylan and boyd )...

Loooovvveee it! I live in ky and frequent Lexington so it's awesome to see a show that takes place in my area. I also counsel opiate addicts so I can relate to a lot of it. Great acting. Great writing. 10 out of 10. Right up there with Breaking Bad and Sons of Anarchy!

Just flat awesome!!! Raylan is the classic Elmore Leonard flawed hero, and T O plays him to perfection. The writers, characters and actors on this show outdo any other Leonard book I've ever read, or movie screenplay of his that I've watched. Justified and G.O.T. are my favorite shows. The kind of show you hope will never end.

Great!!! This show trumps so many cop dramas not because the main character shoots more hillbillies than well.....a Hillbilly, but because the main cast excellently blends a master conspiracy around a new conspiracy which develops every season. I could not stop watching this show if I tried to.

MJustified Great show and it's right along son's of anarchy and breaking bad , even comparable to the quality of the sopraos. Timothy o. Is the baddest good guy just like these other shows have the most loved bad guys

Very Easy to get hooked on this show I was bored one day and started watching the first couple of episodes. Got hooked very easily. The show has a lot of great characters including the main character, played by Tim Olyphant, and his sort-of arch nemesis played by Walt Goggins. I got so hooked, started looking into the background of the stars, story and highly recommend this show.

Raylan Givens is a badass. Sharp, funny writing make this modern day western a must see show in an era of abundant choices. Though it is perennially overlooked at awards time JUSTIFIED features a superb cast headed by Timothy Olyphant and Walton Goggins as Kentucky coal men who grew up together but are now on opposite sides of the law. Like the Elmore Leonard stories that inspired it JUSTIFIED has well defined characters whose dialogue is natural and believable.

Justified It is real as it gets. The major networks take notice people are fed up with the shows on them.dancing with stars, the voice, and others.I watch every. Episode including. The. Commercials.the best on the tv

AWESOME This has to be the best series in the history of television. I'm so bummed out that this is the last season, I have 1 through 5 on DVD and have watched them all numerous times. Raylan is awesome, but I like Boyd too, and Ava is beautiful and bad.

Love Jusified This is second best show Ive ever watched besides Sons Of Anarchy! I am from the great state of KY and only live 2 hours from Lexington, KY and not far from Harlan County. One thing this show shows to be so true is you dont mess with anyone from KY! LOL Nah we all aren't that crazy! ;-)

Can't go wrong The best of that best in writers, exe. producers, all those behind the scenes, storyline, a Great line up of casting. Each actor/actress has their character role to a T! I started watching series 1 in the barn waiting for my horse vet. Just pulled up a bale of hay and was hooked! A note to Timothy O... You have been waiting for a lead role. Stick with it!
